I've been working with some sql in a new 10g db doing the typical 'explain plan for ' syntax. Today, I decided to preserve some of the plans, so I set statement_ids and commited them. Lo and behold, they were not there when I went back later in the day. In 10g, a PLAN_TABLE$ table is created and given the PUBLIC synonym PLAN_TABLE. Convenient, now I don't have to run utlxplan for every user. Just be disciplined and use distinct statement_ids. Unfortunately, the PLAN_TABLE$ is a global temporary table, so my records are deleted when the session ends! ARGH! FYI, this table is created with the catplan.sql script that is called by catalog.sql. Okay, Pete. Where's the doc on this one? ;) Daniel ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
